Hearing Chen Jie's rejection, Mao Yan clenched his hands and said nothing. After a long silence, an old general asked, "How about we hire supernatural beings to help us defend the base?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Liangqing said, "I'm afraid this is impossible."
Before the old general could ask why, she continued: "We don't even have enough supplies to feed our people. Where can we find more supplies to pay for these supernatural beings to work for us?"
After a long silence, Mao Yan looked at Han Dinghe and asked, "Professor Han, how is the progress of the crops? Will there be a good harvest this time?"
